Getz, John, 1945-

Breen Lodge was a women's center established in 1970 and closed during the presidency of Fr. Robert Mulligan in the spring of 1980. The center, which had become a popular institution at Xavier, had sponsored programming on women's issues for a decade. The announcement of its closing resulted in a students' rally to save Breen.

The documents in this collection reflect the reactions of the faculty Senate to the closing and the interaction between the Faculty Committee and the university president.
